Thoughts about mommy

I saw this on Facebook, but thought it would be more appropriate to post here. If you have kids of your own or have ever had kids of your own or have ever seen kids in your life, you'll understand that this is an awfully long survey for them to sit for. It cost me 4 jelly beans and a twenty minute game of Hot Hoops to get their cooperation.
